Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sensor mat for insertion into a vehicle seat, in particular a sensor mat in film construction.
  • Functional elements in foil construction e.g. Membrane switches, film pressure sensors or the like generally comprise at least two essentially elastic film layers which are arranged at a certain distance from one another. This happens e.g. by means of a spacer which is arranged around the active area of the functional element and on which the two film layers are glued with their respective edges.
  • various contact arrangements are applied to the film layers, between which an electrical contact is made when the two film layers are pressed together, so that the switching element is triggered.
  • the pressure on the film layers is relieved, they again assume their spaced apart position due to their elasticity and the electrical contact between the different contact arrangements is interrupted.
  • the functional elements In order to ensure a high probability of response for such functional elements at very different ambient pressures, the functional elements also generally have ventilation channels that connect the space between the two film layers to the environment and thus enable pressure compensation between the environment and the space.
  • a functional element is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,314,227, which relates to a film pressure sensor with a pressure-dependent resistor.
  • a sensor mat in film construction comprises several such functional elements, which are distributed over a certain area.
  • the functional elements thus form the active areas of the sensor mat. they are connected to one another by elastic connecting tracks in which the electrical contacts of the functional elements also run.
  • the elastic connecting webs are formed by the film layers laminated together by means of the spacer and are produced by punching out areas without functional elements from a flat layer structure.
  • Such a sensor mat also has ventilation channels which connect the spaces between the two carrier foils in the area of the functional elements to the surroundings.
  • the ventilation ducts frequently connect several functional elements or active areas of the sensor mat to one another, whereby they run in the flexible connecting tracks and open at one end to the surface of the layer structure.
  • the openings of the ventilation channels are generally covered with an air-permeable but water-impermeable material.
  • water barriers are available as microfiber fabrics under brand names such as Gore Tex ® known.
  • a sensor mat generally has several (for example 30 to 40) ventilation channels, all of which open out at different points in the surface of the layer structure, correspondingly many microfiber patches must be applied and fixed on the sensor mat in the known sensor mats.
  • the microfiber fabrics in question are relatively expensive compared to the other materials used in sensor production, this means, however, a not inconsiderable increase in the production costs of such a sensor.
  • sticking on the microfiber patches is relatively complex and represents an additional potential source of production errors.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a simplified sensor mat for a vehicle seat.
  • a film-type sensor mat comprising a plurality of active areas which are connected to one another by flexible connecting tracks and a flexible protective cover made of a water-impermeable material.
  • the protective cover can completely surround the entire sensor mat or only the connecting paths of the sensor mat.
  • the water-impermeable material in the present sensor mat can be, for example, an inexpensive plastic film, e.g. a PE film, into which the sensor mat or the connecting tracks of the sensor mat are welded.
  • Another advantage of such a protective cover is the smooth surface of a plastic film. Because of this smooth surface, squeaking noises between the sensor mat and a seat foam or a seat cover of a vehicle seat are significantly reduced.
  • the protective cover preferably has an expansion tank which is connected to the protective cover in a fluid-conducting manner.
  • the expansion tank can, for example, in one piece with the protective cover be connected, if necessary via an extended connecting channel.
  • the protective cover has at least one ventilation opening which is covered by a gas-permeable but water-impermeable material.
  • pressure equalization can also take place between the protective cover and the environment.
  • the ventilation opening is preferably arranged in a region of the protective cover which comes to rest outside the seat surface of the seat when the sensor mat is introduced into a vehicle seat. This ensures that the ventilation opening is not glued to the seat foam when the sensor mat is stuck on. In addition, stress on the ventilation opening, for example covered by a microfiber patch, by a passenger sitting in the seat can hereby be avoided.
  • the protective cover preferably has one or more fastening tabs which are arranged, for example, on an outer edge of the protective cover. These mounting tabs can advantageously be used when inserting the sensor mat into a vehicle seat to e.g. to attach to the seat foam or the seat substructure. This can be done by knotting the fastening tabs, or by gluing, clipping or the like.
  • the protective cover forms connecting webs between different flexible connecting tracks.
  • connecting webs can be saved on the actual sensor mat, since the necessary connecting function is performed by the protective cover. This simplifies the punching knives for punching out the sensor mat and reduces the knife length. The sensor mat can therefore be punched out with smaller punching forces and the punch presses can be dimensioned correspondingly smaller. Since the Connecting webs of the protective cover are produced by thermally welding a plastic film, forces do not play a role in this process.
  • the protective cover surrounds the sensor mat with a certain amount of play, i.e. that the sensor mat has a certain mobility inside the protective cover.
  • the sensor mat is to be glued to a vehicle seat or if another functional element such as a seat heater is to be glued to the sensor mat.
  • warping can occur as a result of temperature fluctuations, which lead to preloads on the active areas and thus impair the response behavior of the sensor mat.
  • the sensor mat has a certain mobility in the protective cover even after it has been glued, so that no preloads can arise.
  • the protective cover can comprise a metallized film and / or a UV-impermeable film.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view of an advantageous embodiment of a sensor mat
  • FIG. 2 shows a section through a flexible connecting path of a sensor mat
  • Fig.3 a section through a flexible connecting path of a sensor mat.
  • the sensor mat 10 which is optimized for installation in a vehicle seat.
  • the sensor mat 10 comprises a multiplicity of active areas 12 which are distributed over a certain area.
  • the active areas 12 are connected to one another by flexible connecting tracks 14, so that a coherent, flat sensor mat is formed.
  • sensor mat 10 is preferably constructed in a film construction, the active regions and the flexible connecting tracks having two essentially elastic film layers which are arranged at a certain distance from one another by a spacer.
  • the spacer for example a double-sided adhesive film, has a cutout at least in the area of the active areas of the sensor, so that a space is created in this area between the two film layers.
  • sensor mat 10 ventilation channels 16 which partially connect a plurality of active areas 12 to one another and each open into the surface of the sandwich structure formed by the laminated film layers at at least one point 18.
  • the sensor mat is surrounded by a protective cover 20.
  • the protective cover 20 has, for example, a metallized film, into which the sensor mat or the flexible connecting tracks of the sensor mat are welded.
  • a plastic film such as a PE film forms a good water barrier and can therefore prevent water from penetrating into the active areas of the sensor mat. The pressure equalization between the active areas and the environment thus takes place inside the protective cover 20.
  • the sensor mat 10 preferably has a certain amount of play within the protective cover 20, so that even after the sensor mat has been introduced into a vehicle seat, it has a certain mobility, for example by sticking it onto a seat foam or foaming it into the seat foam. In this way, preloads on the active areas 12 of the sensor mat 10 can be effectively avoided.
  • the protective cover 20 has a ventilation opening 22 at at least one point.
  • the ventilation opening 22 is preferably arranged in an extension 24 of the protective cover 20, so that the Ventilation opening 22 is arranged after the sensor mat has been introduced into a vehicle seat in an area which lies outside the seat surface of the vehicle seat.
  • the ventilation opening 22 is preferably covered by a patch made of a gas-permeable but water-impermeable material, for example a microfiber fabric, so that the entry of water into the protective cover 20 can be prevented.
  • FIG. 1 The right side of the sensor mat 10 shown in FIG. 1 illustrates a particularly advantageous embodiment of the protective cover 20.
  • the protective cover 20 forms connecting webs 26 between individual connecting tracks 14 on this side, so that connecting tracks of the actual sensor mat can be saved in these areas .
  • the tie bars 26 can be produced, for example, by welding the upper and lower plastic films of the protective cover 20 together.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show sections through a flexible connecting path of a sensor mat, the section in FIG. 3 being in the area of the ventilation opening 22 of the protective cover 20.
  • An upper film layer 28 and a lower film layer 30 can be seen, which are laminated together by means of a spacer 32.
  • the sandwich structure of the actual sensor mat formed in this way is surrounded by a protective cover 20, which consists of two plastic films which are welded together at their edges 34.
  • a protective cover 20 which consists of two plastic films which are welded together at their edges 34.
  • the ventilation opening 22 is covered with a patch 36 made of a gas-permeable but water-impermeable material.
